Other Computer Science Books: Must-Reads for Students

AI Thread Summary
For computer science students looking to enhance their programming skills and knowledge, several key resources are recommended. Notably, Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" is highlighted as a classic text that covers essential algorithms in depth. Participants in the discussion suggest that specifying particular topics of interest could lead to more tailored book recommendations. Additionally, a link to a forum thread on programming resources is provided for further exploration. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of foundational texts and encourages students to seek out diverse materials based on their specific interests within computer science.

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...
By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
